Lol...you've gotta be kidding me...seriously? You think the problem there was stamina?
You don't think that garbage time had something to do with that game?

Once and for all, would it be possible to have some kind of input directly from a BB to at least uderstand if the way the game engine is handling gargabe time is satisfying to them?


I'm asking. To better understand things, people ask questions.

Is that a terrible concept?

In general no. In this specific instance, yes.

What is there to understand?
Even a guy who had his team assigned to him this morning could instantly tell that the reason he lost the game is the brain-numbingly stupid garbage time rule.
Either all his players fell dead on the court, or it is simply non acceptable to lose a game in which you are ahead by 31 points at the beginning of the 4th quarter because one team stops trying and the other doesn't.

I asked the affected user about stamina issues.

This really shouldn't affect your life all that much.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

1)It doesn't affect my life at all.

2)It affects my BB-experience because I've also seen some huge leads evaporate because of the garbage time rule. In a game which uses point differential to determine the final standings in case of a tie, I would say the it is pretty important.

3)Could I ask what your opinion of this issue is? Do you find the result of that game acceptable?

Out of curiosity, what was the score and the time when your coach woke up from his catatonic state and decided to put the starters back in?

My team leads by 7-8 pts. less than 1:30 min. before end, wnen this lunatic return starters on the court

Losing a game because of garbage time (in a PO game!!!)

Еxactly, my displeasure is against "garbage time". This is the reason for my absurd lose

@ CocoLoloMomo:
I see it and I can't believe it.

I can't believe, too Maybe I must retire from BB)

Fantastic. From +31 to +8 thanks to garbage time. Thanks for the info.

Still waiting on some kind of input from a BB or some other kind of authority figure.

My trainer seems to take timeouts when the other team makes some type of run.

you're mixing up trainer and coach :)
trainer is the one you buy, and only influences training
the coach is the same for everyone, and the one who should call timeouts.
problem is, when the team is leading by more than 20 points, not only the player but often also the coach stop caring about the match...
